The mechanism used involves captured network traffic, which is uploaded to the WPA Cracker service and subjected to an intensive brute force cracking effort. As advertised on the site, what would be a five-day task on a dual-core PC is reduced to a job of about twenty minutes on average. For the more “premium” price of $35, you can get the job done in about half the time. Because it is a dictionary attack using a predefined 135-million-word list, there is no guarantee that you will crack the WPA key, but such an extensive dictionary attack should be sufficient for any but the most ...

Using the following 4 symbols, create a Unix shell script (any OS will do) that will give the effect of a spinning wheel.

The wheel must give the effect of rotating clockwise in the same character space.

After every 2nd revolution, make the wheel advance forward one space to give the effect of forward momentum.

The first person to solve it will get 20 reputation points added to their profile. If you can do it with a DOS batch script, I will give you 50 points. ...

I find myself wondering sometimes exactly what limitations do to the world. If the American Government had never imposed prohibition, it would not have given organized crime the revenue stream that was needed for it to become prevelant in the U.S. (Hmmm... limitations BAD!!!) Then again, if murder wasn't illegal in the states, what's to stop us from killing anyone we may become angry with? (Hmmm... limitations BAD!!-- errrr... I mean GOOD!!! )

Essentially limitations imposed on the world by lawmakers have had their place. Some have produced horrifying results, ...
